1) Congratulations . Perhaps if you'd spent more time fishing you could continue to spend more time fishing :rolleyes: .

2) The closest to this situation that I have any experience with is cell phone towers. Twice we have had "discussions" with companies looking to put in towers in our locale, both times thet went elsewhere for what I believe to be technical reasons. One clause which is common to cell tower leases (IIRC) is that all construction added for the tower is removed at the end of the lease at the tower company's expense. That seems like something you might want to have in a windfarm lease also.

3) FWIW, if it were already my land and I wanted to stay on it as much as I would like to stay where I am now, I would put in the windfarm and use the income to hang on for as many years and generations as possible. If I was looking for land to acquire, it would deter me unless the windfarm income would be enough to let me swing the deal for your 1000 acres which I couldn't get otherwise. So perhaps you have to decide to fish or cut bait.

Good luck with everything. We need more windfarms.
